Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2019

This is the third bottle each two years apart and this opened very nicely after about an hour or so
I’ve increasingly liked this wine although given it the same rating
It’s well structured aromatic and just an all round good expression of well made Central Otago Pinot
Probably open the next three each with a year or less further age

Spy Valley

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Passion fruit and fresh cut grass aromas.
Medium body, crisp.
Passion fruit, grapefruit, and grassy flavors with light minerality. Bright acidity without being too tart. Excellent wine.
Partly aged in oak barrels, but not okay.

Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

2023 - Now owned by LMH the style has somewhat reverted to the herbaceous style of the 90s that made it famous, so pleasant surprise- citrus, melon, lime, and grasses- like it
One of the earlier ratings is 10 and several 7.2, so overall rating is skewed to lower side
Delectable needs to eliminate these outliers to make average ratings meaningful

Giesen

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of grapefruit, guava, and passionfruit. Herbal notes of green bell pepper, grass, and jalapeño, with hints of white pepper and lychee. Lime and melon are noticeable on the palate.

Dry with a medium body and high acidity, it is well-balanced with a long and zesty finish. A youthful and vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
